smurfetteloves:
Can anyone share his/her view comparing Victoria School, Dunman High and Temasek Junior College - e.g. in terms of IP programme, CCA achievements, the school environment and culture, etc?
I think dunman high is the best as it has the biggest area to study and the pupils there are taught to be polite,They do not commit any crimes and hands in their work on time. they have quite a large number of gold archeivements. The students there work very hard to get good results and does not slack.The school environment is quite mordern with kongzi in their garden which is perhaps located in the middle of the school. Their school is rich in both chinese and english culture but I do not know how to explain in words. Their IP programme is almost the same as other IP schools but provides a better way of learning by giving projects every week and ask them till they understand what they were taught.The teachers there are very strict and will not hesistate to school if the students talk unnessarily during the lessons.Their talent development proggramme cossist much more compared to TJC and Vs.They also organise camps almost every month if I am not wrong.I hoped my son to go to Vs and if I were you,I would put dunman high as 2nd choice and vs as first choice
I replied this at dunman high and temasek JC kiasu parents web too.

My feel is that vs and dhs are vastly different in terms of school cultures and students mix. Its not a matter of which is better, but which environment does your ds prefer....
No idea on tjc.... -

VS has 90 openings for IP last year. This year, they are allowing 160. The COP should drop instead of going up. Essentially, MOE and VS is saying that they are now confident to allow those with t-score just above 250 a place in IP. -

My DS has admitted VS via DSA (sports). VS COP is 247. Very worried now as am afraid he might not be able to cope there. Any parent here with DS also admitted to VS via DSA. Can I seek your advise on any preparation to help them. :thankyou:
